Wow haven't been here in a while. Interesting stuff going on.
For the first two, the big white guy, his terrible form is more a product of his low vertical. He does not have the reactive strength to perform a tuck jump with good form and enough hangtime.

For the ankle hops - he is not overloading his ankles as much as he could if he did not flex knee.

yup

For leg press - he's not training for strength; he is lifting very slowly, stopping at bottom of motion wastes the kinetic energy that can be turned into an explosive lift. That type of lifting is good for endurance and general strength/hypertrophy maybe.

i didn't rewatch the vid, but i remember the leg press he did looked really bad because of how his feet placement was, looked like he was using way too much "quad".. there's a way to do leg press that at least hits the hams/glutes a bit more, ie foot flat, feet placement a little higher.. i remember his feet were low and at the bottom his heels were off the plate.

Lol I loved this thread by the way, worst depth jump I've ever seen. I felt lazier watching it

lol, that's not the worst i've seen if you can imagine that.. can't find the worst one i've seen, but it was so bad that i'm laughing right now thinking about it.

I wonder what happens if you do a downhill sprint followed immediately by an uphill sprint. Like a \_/ running slope.

have a 'client athlete' that's pissing you off? load him up on heavy sled sprints, very heavy, so he's about 10-20% of the speed he could achieve for that distance (say 20 yards).. hit a bunch of sled sprints, say 5-10.. now, tell him to sprint maximally for ~20 yards etc, no 'warmup/re-acclimation sprints', pretty high of a chance he eats it (falls down)..

i've seen it happen quite a few times.

your post just reminded me of that.. if you ran uphill first, for say 5-10 sprints, then if you ran downhill, it would be pretty catastrophic imo.. the cns would overexagerate the lean, and going downhill, that would be very bad haha.. i know your post was the opposite of that, but whatever just found that funny.

will post vid of dunks/squats tomorrow.. takes so long to render/upload videos with squats in them, cause of the duration.


12/05/2010
bw = 155
soreness = calfs a little

aches/injuries = right ankle (think its a peroneal tendon, it's a combo of fatigue from those 35 ME jumps then squatting that night, but the squatting is what 'injured' it, because i felt it directly during squat tonight), left lower back a little

diet = protein shake + 1 tspn coffee, dunks/jumps, protein shake, black beans and rice + nacho chips + salsa, cake, protein shake + squatting, protein shake, pb sandwhich on double fiber bread

fatigue = low




workout #1: jumps/dunks
- decided to bring my grandpa with me, trying to get him out of the house... major fail, did not turn out well.. as soon as we got to the court, he said he wanted to leave, lol.. so i just went right into a few warmup jumps then started doing max jumps, so basically no warmup.. 15-20min total session, about 10 dunk attempts.
- felt very powerful
- ankle bugged before going to the court but i massaged the outside of my ankle and it felt better, didn't feel it during dunk session which is a good sign.. but afterwards, it was bugging me.



workout #2: afletic strenf.
- half squat: 45 @ 5 x 10,     135 @ 5, 5,     185 @ 5,    225 @ 5,     245 @ 5,      265 @ 10, 10, 10, 10, 10        235 @ 20



depth was good overall, felt very strong..




icing my ankle tonight, so far, twice.. will ice it a ton tomorrow.. tomorrow will probably be full rest.. tuesday will be some short sprints/double leg bounds probably, wednesday will be dunks/jumps + squatting... so basically getting in two days rest before wednesdays' session.. if my ankle is bugging on tuesday too, ill probably just walk, lots of icing.. hopefully it's fine by wednesday though, if it's not that would be really annoying.

for squat on wed, plan on hitting: 295-305 x 5, then 265-275 @ 5 x 10.. if 265, ill try to finish the sets faster than i did today.. will probably end up doing that, then the session after, go for 275 @ 5 x 10 & 245 x 20.

ok ok,

peace (it's 7am my time, icing my ankle one more time before a really big sleep, probably 10 hours ;d)

I'm a little jealous at how consistent you are jumping bro!

thanks man, shit is going good right now i got to keep it up.. peaking come dec 14 so, gotta stay focused and heal up my damn ankle, its bugging me.






Sweet ass on that chick in the blue jeans, 2nd pic. Nice jumping too btw hahaha.

ya she was alright, but, i felt like a damn pedo coz of this other chick.. she was like 16 or so, but honestly, one of the finest chicks i ever seen.. 16 years old, mixed black n white, redonkulous.. i was like, 'walk by my cam, wait wut, dont think like that, no seriously walk in front of my cam'.. then she walked behind it not to disturb the dunking.. lol, sounds disturbing coming from a 28 year old bUT MAN WHAT THE FUCK WHATEVER.





2nd that^^ making it count in front of the ladies aye darq!

i jump higher when females are around, no joke..








lol @ dagger's pic.. that dude does look like me.

I've read overspeed sprinting should be only 1-2% over normal, NOT MORE!
So if you run 40yard normal in 4.5s, with overspeed you shouldn't run faster than 4.4s. Otherwise it's counterproductive and dangerrous.
Nearly all people make that mistake. The reason is if you run to fast your brain feels like it's possible to fall or  get injured.
And so it will automatic protect you and that result in BAD SLOW running technic.

I also don't think that all overspeed methods are the same.

If you use downhill runs (no equipment required) make sure you have less then 1 degree slope. Compair the times!
Running with winds is a great way!

lol nice post..

yes, wind aided runs can be very effective, but again, the speed increases should be very small (<6%) or you end up like tyson gay blowing out his hammy.

I like pully overspeed if you train indoors: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=stWIRd-Gm6M

downhill runs are great too, 1 degree is pretty small of a limit, verkhoshansky always said no more than 6 degrees decline..

regardless, a progression must be followed, never jump right into a supramaximal training method without progressively intensifying the work to make sure everything is safe.. So if 6 degree slope is the goal, start off with 2, then 4, then 6.. etc.

peace

Dang! Amazing work Andrew!!! I just now noticed this thread; I'll read it in detail when I'm more awake.



thanks man, all credit to verk though of course, i just took notes on a bunch of his pdf's.. will do notes for latest supertraining and SSTM eventually.. slow process lol.

Power meet:
only slept 3hrs about before (had to leave real early to drive to meet) wasnt too tired tho.
Weighed in pretty light I thought, 233. (no lifting for a week=less glycogen retention in muscles??)
Squats
warmups
135x20+ lol
225x5
315x2-belt
365x1-belt

Attempts
407x1-real easy
447x1-not hard, not easy.
passed on third to save strength for deadlifts

bench
132x1-lol

deadlifts
warm-ups
245x3
335x2
425x1
515x1

Attempts

congrats man, you got 750 in you for sure..

17953
congrats on PR man, your body loves staying at 197.. you beat me tho, yesterday i hit 285 x 5, but, i was wearing a rambo knife, which might be 286.5 x 5, so i think i win. ololo

Thanks a lot man , squats felt great too , definitely all time PR strength level!

ya man you beastin`.


Quote
Just saw your vid , awesome squating there , many congrats!
So it's the rambo knife that makes you win and not the fact that you lifted the same being ~45lbs lighter?  ;D

thanks man & hah.. ya i guess that factors in but let's forget about that, let's focus on the rambo knife ;d

My body actually wants to go to ~180 and lose all its muscle , so its a tug-of-war that balances at ~197. I am actually pushing 200 now but that workout was in the morning, previous workout that was at night as usual i was 199.


my body wants to blow up right now too, lack of cardio though.. need to walk alot (~8miles each day) monday/tuesday to try and keep this weight down blah!!!

if you're adding pure muscle in the legs/hips then it's fine to go a bit over 200, just gotta make sure it isn't fat.. which is pretty hard to due with our genetics.. we put on fat pretty easily.

Introduce Yourself / Re: Long time Lurker, first time caller
« on: December 06, 2010, 01:51:07 am »
Hi All,

Been Lurking since the days of terminal vertical to TVS,  I have been impressed with Andrews insights so here I am to finally legitimize my internet existance.

wow that's a pretty long time for lurking, appreciate that i could be of some motivation/help.



Quote
Training for vertical and better sports performance. Started training in 2007 to dunk a basketball, went from 23" to around a 31" vertical in the first few years and have been hard pressed to make further gains after that.

Current stats:
31 years
5'10"
7'6" reach
184 pounds
275# back squat
340# deadlift
145# power clean

Still a long way from that first dunk, but finally ready to commit to getting to that next level of performance.

Thanks to everyone for the motivation over the years!



how much has your strength progressed SINCE those first few years of gains? how much did it progress in those first few years? interested to know how that progression has turned out. It seems like you could definitely benefit from some large gains in squat strength, given your bodyweight/power clean.

awesome though man, welcome to the forum and go get that shit.. hope to see some big new PR's from you in the near future.

peace man
